As a base for so many of Mexico’s most-loved antojitos (street foods), tortillas are a vehicle for flavour and fun. So, we thought we’d put our favourite tortilla brands to the test to find the very best ones to seek out on your next grocery run.
From blue corn to flour-based, Taco Tuesday is looking on the up. Here is our pick of the best tortillas in Australia.
La Banderita
These rounds are flour-based rather than made with corn, which makes them a little softer and stretchier (but not gluten-free). Ideal for filled-to-the-brim burritos.
$11 for 20, harrisfarm.com.au
Doña Cholita
Sold frozen to capture the sweet, nutty flavour of blue corn and made in NSW’s Northern Rivers, these tortillas offer a well-balanced flavour and texture. Founder Jefte Juarez had trouble finding tortillas as good as the ones he had growing up in Mexico, so he set about crafting his own.
$9.89 for 12, organicdeliverysydney.com.au
La Tortilleria
This Melbourne-based artisan uses Australian-grown corn and sea salt for its masa (dough) and nothing else. Used by the likes of Rico’s Tacos and Frankie’s Tortas and Tacos, these malleable, soft tacos offer an authentic taqueria experience at home.
$9.20 for 15, latortilleria.com.au
El Cielo
Slinging tacos and Mexican groceries since 2012, El Cielo was founded by three Mexican friends who set out on a mission to create the dishes they remembered from home. These soft taco shells are excellent as flautas (rolled-up fried tacos) or tostadas, which sees each disc fried and then topped.
$7.50 for 10, elcielo.shop
